Lamb, IN
Lamb, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lamb at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 134 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lamb at the 23rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lamb's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Lamb: 94% of its 134 buildings, versus 6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Lamb ranks
Compare Lamb's two percentiles: 83rd within Indiana, only 21st nationally — a gap of 62 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lamb ranks 24,926 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,535 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 166 of 967 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Lamb
At the 21st national percentile, Lamb rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Lamb's 94% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
